Prague, Czech Republic Hotels and Apartments

We chose this hotel after reading the reviews and would heartily endorse all the good reports, especially the friendly helpful staff. We booked a superior room and were upgraded to their only suite which was very chic. We booked transfers through the hotel which were limousines. The cost was cheaper than many transfers adverised on the internet.
The hotel is in a very quiet area but only ten minutes leisurely walk from Old Town Square. Everyone says Prague is no longer cheap, which is true but tickets for the State Opera (booked online) are very good value.
Tip: For a cheap cup of coffee try Marks and Spencers cafe on Wenceslas Square where you can get coffee and complimentary piece of shortbread for under £1.

Just returned from a long weekend in Prague at the Maximilian. I chose this hotel based on all the great reviews it had here and was not disappointed! I would thoroughly recommend it. I did wonder about the location as everyone said Mala Strana is so pretty you have to stay there (which it is) but the location of the Maximilian was great. I am glad we stayed here rather than the busier tourist trail as I have to say Prague was absolutely packed with tourists! I was surprised by this in early November but I was last in Prague 12 years ago and things have changed a lot! The hotel was only 5 mins walk from the Stare Mesto square and there were a handful of great pubs and restaurants - NoStress cafe for good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere, Ocean Drive for late night cocktails, Kolkovna for typical Czech beer and food - I could go on! NB: It also felt safe walking to the hotel late at night even though it is behind the main streets. The hotel itself is very modern - a little bit brightly lit for me - but the rooms were great; tastefully decorated \"boutique\" style and had a large comfortable bed. We found the hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. There is no restaurant on site but there\'s an ample buffet breakfast and a \"help yourself\" bar. As everyone else has mentioned the free internet service is also a nice touch. We also tried a massage at the Sabai studio in the basement which was a great addition to a thoroughly relaxing weekend. Enjoy!
